Requested Include folders whose name starts with a dot in "Load thumbs from all subfolders"

[PeterMas]

When using "Load thumbs from all subfolders" loads all folders except that his name starts with a dot. I wish to change this behavior.

Thanks!

Nobody else is interested in this feature?

I doubt if anyone else uses folders with names starting with a dot.

It's a really common situation when you use various kinds of Operating Systems (Linux, Mac OS, Windows...)
Moreover, if you plug your Android smartphone to your computer, there are a lot of folders that begins with dot.

Well. It's only my opinion. If nobody else is interested in my request, I resign myself!

I doubt that it is a common situation with Windows. The operating system will not allow me to create a folder with a name that starts with a dot. It appears to be an invalid format in Windows. It will allow a dot within the folder name but not as the first character.

You are right! It's not a common situation with Windows. But you can plug a Android mobile to your Windows as a external disk; or you can plug a USB stick used before on Linux or Mac OS; or you can use Irfanview with Wine in a Linux box; or....
I think there are some situations that you can find folders whose name starts with a dot...

And (it's only my opinion) is not a dificult feature to implement, no? Thanks!
